Which version of Microsoft Edge are you using? From the Jupyter Notebook Browser Compatibility, we can see that:

The Jupyter Notebook aims to support the latest versions of these browsers:

  • Chrome

  • Safari

  • Firefox

Up to date versions of Opera and Edge may also work, but if they don’t, please use one of the supported browsers.

The New Microsoft Edge is Chromium base, perhaps you need to install it, you could download it from here.

Please refer to the following steps to set the default browser for Anaconda jupyter notebook

  1. Launch Anaconda command Prompt
  2. Type the command " jupyter notebook --generate-config "
  3. Locate the generated configuration file in the path "C:\Users\XXXX.jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.py" and open it with notepad/any text editor.
  4. Modify #c.NotebookApp.browser = '' to c.NotebookApp.browser = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe %s'
  5. Save the file and close it

Next time executes the jupyter-notebook command, it will use the set browser.

You can launch Jupyter on Edge by doing this:

  1. Open Anaconda Promt and type this jupyter notebook list. It will show a group of tokens. Just copy one token and only the alphanumeric part.
  2. Open Jupyter Notebook as normally. Copy the local host address from the adress bar of the default browser (for instance: Chrome).
  3. Open Edge, copy the local host address. It will ask you a password or TOKEN.
  4. Copy the TOKEN and voilà.

You can save the TOKEN in the password manager of Edge in order to get an easy access.

Regards.

I'm using Microsoft Edge Versión 83.0.478.56 (Compilación oficial) (64 bits).

Well you can follow the same steps in the previous post, changing step four(4) like this:

  1. Launch PowerShell or CMD
  2. Type the command " jupyter notebook --generate-config "
  3. Locate the generated configuration file in the path "C:\Users\XXXX.jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.py" and open it with notepad/any text editor.
  4. Modify #c.NotebookApp.browser to c.NotebookApp.browser = 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe %s'
  5. Save the file and close it
  6. Stop the process in PowerShell or CMD (Ctrl + c)
  7. Now, start the tool typing jupyter notebook in the PowerShell or CMD

Note: Don't forget uncomment (delete the hashtag symbol #) in step four(4)

Next time executes the jupyter-notebook command, it will use the set browser.

Use webbrowser to register Edge and use it:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.register('edge', None, webbrowser.GenericBrowser('C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge\\Application\\msedge.exe'))
c.NotebookApp.browser = 'edge'
